Mr Brashaw has a radio program where he asks for others with different point of view to email, text, etc their comments to him. When he repeats them over the air, he re-writes what they have said, changing the wording, to support his point or to convert the person sending in the comment, a wacko, off base, etc…. And also, when you have a good point, it majically never gets shared with the public.
It is his show, he can do what ever he wants with it, but do not ask people to contribute and then present those people as wackos by changing what they say. Or just letting the wackos on the air. Either tell your story your way without other input. Or make sure they trully have a voice… So far I know I haven’t… And I know I am not the only one…
In the last program I had dialog with him, he would not read all of this. It was in regards to his comment that Obama has an open hand and has asked the republicans to work with him. And it is the republicans at fault for not working with Obama. Not Obama… Mr Bradshaw attacked my message and my self, by pointing out that the GOP lost the election, and they don’t have an equal voice. Equality of voice was not the issue/point,. The annology was which was never read. Nor did he repeat the message word for word. And the context of message was changed. My message sent was:
Also, I heard you talk about how Obama has held out his hand to the GOP and had it slapped away. You state that, but you leave out the facts. I would like to share an anonology that best summerizes it. The people of the US elected him president because he atleast implied he would reach out a hand to the GOP and work things out like you would with your Spouse. But his way of working things out, is more like. Hey honey lets buy a car, oh by the way, it is going to be a Ford Pickup, Crew Cab, 4 wheel drive, you can pick out the color…. Do that to you wife and see how she responds. If he truly wants a health care plan that is bi-partisan just as he claimed he would open his hand out to. Why not do a lock in. take top democrats and top GOPs and who ever else should be. Lock them in until they come out with a plan that they will ALL sign… I bet that would be the best for everyone… Don’t you think???
Some day, maybe his position can stand up on its own by its merits and not by twisting things to his side… And maybe he can look at the intent, instead of attacking a person over a mispelling, or something else, and not the point at hand. It is a common technique, when you can’t argue with the main point, attack the author on something else.
